The huge magic circle floating behind Uncle Will began to glow. Every cell in my body was telling me that I had to avoid this attack at all costs.
Reflexively, I put magic into my magic circles and readied myself to defend at any time.
…It would be easy for Uncle Will to take over this country if he wanted to.
“The only reason that won’t happen is that he’s a man of character…”
I was thinking this in a daze in a desperate situation.
In that split second, I was covered with a sense of fear I had never felt before. Instantly, a large number of magic circles I created were broken. Only five remained.
There was no way that this magic circle would be able to withstand Uncle Will’s attack. However, unlike the previous magic circles, the magic circle I had just created was capable of absorbing magic power.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYou might be thinking, “It’s invincible to be able to absorb magic power!”, but it’s not that simple.
Absorbing this much magic power required tremendous physical strength. In addition, extraordinary concentration as well.
The magic circle was starting to crack and break. My hands trembled from the sheer power of Uncle Will’s magic.
I gritted my teeth desperately and focused my attention.
…If I couldn’t stay like this, I wouldn’t be able to say that I’ve grown up.
Uncle Will, you must see the grown-up me in your eyes. Otherwise, you won’t be able to pass on.
The sound of the magic circle breaking echoed in my ears. Only three magic circles remained.
I could feel blood flowing from my nose due to the load I was putting on my body all at once. I could feel the strength draining from my body, but I couldn’t afford to collapse now.
“What a strong spirit,” said Uncle Will, who was staring at me with his eyes wide open.
My consciousness was starting to fade, but I still held on desperately.
The next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground. My eyes could not open properly.
…Wasn’t it beautiful to see Villainess collapsed in a field of flowers?
The smell of sweet flowers enveloped me. In the blurred scenery, I looked toward Uncle Will.
I no longer had the strength to stand. Still, I would fight. I might not have the physical strength, but my body was filled with an immense amount of magical power.
“You’ve absorbed my magic and made it your own…”
Uncle Will spoke as he slowly approached me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI should have canceled the magic power, but that would have been too frustrating, so I took Uncle Will’s magic power and made it my own.
I did something unnecessary, and the cost was being reflected now, but…. I didn’t expect it to be that powerful.
“Even if I had the magic power, I wouldn’t have the strength left to fight anymore.”
“I doubt that.”
A smile was all I could spare in this situation. From the outside, I would look like a complete loser.
…How could I not take advantage of what Uncle Will said? I didn’t know if I could be cunning, but at least I used my head and tried to fight the battle.
I did one thing before the fight.
“What do you mean?” said Uncle Will, raising an eyebrow.
“Watch your step.”
Too weak to speak, Uncle Will slowly turned his gaze downward.
At his feet was a mysterious magic circle of purple and gold.
